The hinge portion 23 is rf-ln object of my invention is to provide a lool: receivable in an opening 24 in the cover member or windows the like which is adapted 20, and is connected with the cover member by e in combination with the standard ivindoi* means of a pin 26 which extends through open- 6b oel; or catch, which will prevent a window from ings in the cover member and the hinge portion eing prie-:l open or from being opened from the 23. The cover member is countersunk as shown Kterior of the window by an outsider breaking in Figure 2 for receiving the head of the pin 26. `he and releasing the catch. The pin is retained in position by a set screw 28 l0 A further object is to provide a novel look i r which extends through a threaded opening in 65 i'idows which may be locked with a key in orthe cover member and into a circumferential 'l dow may not be opened by anyu groove in the pin. except the one having the key.

The and the lock bolt 32 is in engagement with the 110 loop portion 34 of the keeper at which time the windows are securely locked in position.

When it is desired to unlock the Windows, the key is inserted in the opening 38 for withdrawing the lock bolt 32 from the keeper 33 at Which time the cover member may be swung upwardly to its dotted line position as shown in Figure 4. The fastening member 4S may then be moved out of engagement with the retaining member 42 at Which tim-e the windows may be opened.

Thus it will be seen that when the Windows are locked they can only be opened by one having the key. The construction is sufficiently rugged so that the Windows cannot easily be pried open and if the glass is broken the Windows cannot be unlocked by a person reaching through the Window unless the person has a key. The cover member is preferably constructed of a ductile material such as brass in order that it may not be broken by hammering thereon.

While I have illustrated and described my invention as being adapted for use With Windows, it Will be understood that it may also be readily adapted for use with analogous items such as doors.

vber and a fastening element mounted on the keeper member, means for connecting the fastening elements with the hinge member and keeper member and their respective sashes, said fastening elements being adapted for mutual engagement for fastening the sashes to each other, a cover member pivotally connected with the hinge member and adapted for covering the fastening elements, the hinge member and the keeper member, and a lock positioned on the inner side of the cover member and connected therewith, said lock being provided With a lock bolt adapted for engagement with the keeper member for retaining the cover member in its covering position.

2. A lock mechanism comprising a hinge member mounted on one of a pair of relatively movable members, a keeper member mounted on the other member, said keeper member and hinge member being positioned side by side and substantially parallel with each other when the movable members are disposed in adjacent positions, a cover member hingedly connected with the hinge member and provided with a recess for receiving the hinge member and the keeper member, and a lock disposed in the recess and connected with the cover member, said lock being provided with a key retractable lock bolt adapted for engagement With the keeper member for connecting the cover member therewith when the cover member is positioned for covering said hinge member and keeper member.

3. A lock mechanism comprising a hinge member mounted on one of a pair of relatively movable members, a keeper member mounted on the other member, fastening elements mounted on the hinge and keeper members and adapted for mutual engagement when the relatively movable members are disposed in adjacent positions, a cover member hingedly connected with the hinge member and provided with a recess for receiving the fastening elements, the hinge member, and the keeper member, and a lock connected with the cover member and provided with a lock bolt adapted for engagement with the keeper member for connecting the cover member with the keeper' member.

4. A lock mechanism comprising a hinge element mounted on one of a pair of relatively movable members and provided with an opening therethrough, a keeper element mounted on the other member, a cover member provided with an opening therein in alignment with the opening in the hinge element, a pin extending 'through the openings for hingedly connecting the cover member with the hinge element, said pin being provided with a recess therein, a pin retaining element connect-ed with the cover member and extending Within the reces-s in the pin for xedly positioning the pin with respect to the cover member and hinge element, said cover member being provided with a recess therein for receiving the hinge element and the keeper element, and a lock disposed in the recess in the cover member and connected With the cover member, said lock being provided with a lock bolt adapted for engagement with the keeper element for connecting the cover member with the keeper element.
